The Board granted service connection for frequent urination, to include as secondary to the Veteran's hypertension, but denied service connection for PTSD and a compensable rating for erectile dysfunction.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the evidence showing that the Veteran's urinary frequency is due to his blood pressure medication prescribed for his service-connected hypertension. However, there was no evidence of a current diagnosis of PTSD under DSM-5 criteria, and a noncompensable rating is the maximum rating available for erectile dysfunction.
